@Anindya, I defer to Walter Bender as he is the project lead for this
Sugar Labs project. That being said, everything you propose sounds great
and I trust you have the technical ability given all the great work you
did over the summer.
If we do end up refactoring, I am happy to test anything out and provide
my feedback as a user and "the music guy".
@Vaibhav, thanks for the links.

Hi Anindya,
If you are going to refactor the codebase you can go through the
following
link which is one of the best resources to learn about refactoring in
my
knowledge.
Spend some time with this.

I'm considering reorganizing the modules and cleaning up the complete
codebase in a gradual manner - something I briefly worked on, during
this
summer. It is to my understanding that Music Blocks was built
progressively, and there's still scope for a lot of additions, but
I've
observed some significant issues.
I feel the user experience isn't quite appealing. For instance, the
application feels bulky, the mouse interaction isn't very good, there
are
UI lapses here and there, etc. As for the code, I feel we are lacking
structure. The JS modules have become disorganized, there's lots of
deprecated code spread throughout, and the scripts do not stick to a
proper
convention.
Many times it becomes a challenge to figure out the source of a bug or
add/modify some code. Also, it is quite easy to generate an obscure
bug
while fixing something else. Moreover, several components are
convoluted
among themselves. I've only worked on the MVC refactoring of a few
components, but I believe it should be done all throughout for it to
bear
advantages.
Therefore, I'm planning on rebuilding a structure under the hood,
primarily for better code management, but also to enhance the
performance
of the application. Any thoughts or suggestions?
